Detectives with the Lincoln Interagency Narcotics Team served a search warrant at a Newport residence on Tuesday, seizing 55 grams of methamphetamine, 25 grams of heroin, more than $20,000 in cash and firearms.

NEWPORT — Two local residents made initial appearances Wednesday in Lincoln County Circuit Court, one day after their alleged heroin and methamphetamine operation was abruptly halted by law enforcement authorities in Newport.

Giang Hoang Le, 36, and Brittney Marie Wood, 24, appeared separately in court through a closed circuit television feed from Lincoln County Jail before Judge Thomas Branford.
